KRQE-TV (Albuquerque) says: "A Roswell [New Mexico] man is behind bars ... someone saw the man in what they called an altercation with a stop sign. ... Two officers shot [Raymond] Garcia with Taser darts, but said he continued kicking at them as they got closer. When darted again, Garcia jumped up and broke off the Taser leads from his stomach. One officer tried to use his baton, but somehow Garcia got ahold of it and tried to use it against the officers ... police deployed pepper spray, but even that didn't stop Garcia. Responding officers said he wiped the pepper spray off his face and continued running while throwing the officer's baton at them."

Eric says: Roswell, New Mexico? I'm not saying it was aliens but it was aliens.
